H. Maintenance

1. Battery Replacement:

The 265 will display a battery

symbol when the internal 9 Volt battery needs replace-
ment. The battery is replaced as follows:

Disconnect and remove all test leads
from live circuits and from the 265.

Loosen the screw from the back of the 265 battery
cover.

Remove the battery compartment cover.

Remove old battery and replace with new battery.
Observe the correct polarity on the battery.

Reassemble the instrument in reverse
order from above.

2. Cleaning your 265:

Use a mild detergent and slightly damp cloth to clean the
surfaces of the 265.
